Art and knowledge for the common good, by Manuel Borja-Villel
The museum as narrative
“There is certainly something important, fundamental, in the museum, and this is the collection, where history is very important. A history where there are anachronisms, because obviously you don’t return to the past but rather you see the past from the present.”
“Historical constructs as serious and precise as possible but that help us to understand the present.”
“There is something cinematographic about Guernica, as it has to do with the public space and the theatrical.”
“[We are interested in reflecting on] the public service function, the public space and self-reflection, the element of conceiving and thinking about the devices themselves, the machine itself.”
